WHAT WE DO

The Frank McCoppin Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization (FMES PTO) is a group of current parents and teachers whose aim is to:

Enhance and support the educational experience of students
Connect home and school through parent/guardian involvement
Foster a school community
Improve the school environment

Not just a school - we’re a Dragon community…
The PTO is an integral part of the McCoppin family. Not only do we host fun events throughout the year, we also provide funds for our teachers and staff. All of this takes the hard work and support of our parents and guardians. We all have different talents, skills and know-how that can make the experience our kids have at their school a real success. We all want the very best for our children, and that is why we must all individually do whatever we can to make it happen. This school isn’t just a place where our kids learn - it’s also a supportive and inclusive community for all, child or adult.
